In 2023, 31-year-old Samantha Syrus was volunteering with Predator Catchers
Incorporated, a non-profit organization that works to “catch[] online child
predators.” Tr. Vol. II, p. 79. As part of this work, Syrus created a fake profile
on Tagged, a dating application for adults only, where she listed her name as
“Eilidh” and her age as 22 years old.
In early January 2023, Wright sent “Eilidh” a message on Tagged. His profile
listed his age as 39 years old, though he later admitted he was actually 43.
